One of my favourite things about this whole ordeal is the amount of people saying the exact same thing. Where originally they believed people were over-reacting, then they experience it and realise... oh.
I was the same. I was busy and it took me a little longer to finish the game than most people and just kept thinking ''There is no way it can be THAT bad''. Then I'm playing the last level thinking ''Well this is a great last level, there is no way this great level can suddenly be ruined'' .....then I hit the ending and ....oh.
The best was someone on Neogaf had been in the threads saying how people were overreacting and so forth, getting really defensive. Then a few days later posted an apology to everyone and started making the same points they had lol.
As for the reviews... well on the one hand 98% of the game is utterly sublime so I mean I can kinda understand it. However what you do have a point about is of the reviews I read a very small number mentioned the ending.
I suspect many didn't finish the game. However it's nothing new. Just recently with RE:ORC and NG3 it was incredibly clear that a lot of reviewers hadn't played the online at all. Been going on a LONG time. I remember when gamespot put up a review for Metroid Prime Hunters and the review was FULL of mistakes and errors. People worked out the reviewer had only played into the game a small percentage. Gamespot apologised, took the review down and put up a new one but didn't bother to change the scores or anything lol.
